“If you want to jump off a building, go ahead and jump now. I won’t stop you. Anyway, having a son like you or not having a son like you makes little difference. But if you want to take my surname, you’ll have to see if your father is willing.” Mother Gu spread her hands, shrugged, and looked completely innocent.
Gu Jin gasped in shock.
Look at this, is this his own mother? Is she trying to force him to jump off a building?
The atmosphere in the ward instantly became humorous and lively because of Gu's mother's arrival. Gu Jin knew his mother's character well, so he moved towards the door while speaking: "Um, Mom, I just remembered that I have some things to take care of. Since you're here to see Ye Yun, I'll take my leave first!"
Whoosh~ Mother Gu reached out and grabbed.
Before Gu Jin could even slip out of the ward, his mother grabbed him by the back of the collar, causing him to stumble and beg for mercy, "Mommy, Mommy—new clothes, they cost a fortune!"
Gu's mother always had a smile on her face.
"Why are you running away? Can't you come with Mom to visit your friend's wife?"
Gu Jin had no words to express her suffering.
Although Gu's mother was smiling, the threat in her eyes was obvious. She calmly pushed Gu Jin back onto the sofa.
He bet his mother bringing the health center here was definitely up to no good.
Gu Jin's expression was ashen, as if she had swallowed a bitter pill. When Gu's mother saw this, she frowned and said, "Tsk, what's wrong? Why do you look so pale? Can't hold back your diarrhea?"
"—!"
Ye Yun was shocked and looked at Gu's mother with disbelief.
Not only Ye Yun, but Qin Xiang'e was also shocked, staring wide-eyed at Gu's mother.
She's a mountain girl, she doesn't usually speak so wildly. Gu Jin's mother... why does what she says not match her outfit at all?
Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Gu's mother placed one hand on Gu Jin's shoulder, smiling like a loving mother, and gently comforted him, "Don't be afraid, what could I possibly want from you? I just want you to go on a blind date."
She was never one to talk about rules, and she was used to this easygoing way of getting along with her children.
Gu Jin's face fell upon hearing this.
See, he said that his mother coming to the health center was no good.
Gu Jin rubbed her face with both hands, gave a wry smile, and said helplessly, "Mom, you're my own mother. He's already run away from his wedding, why should I go on another blind date?"
"Who said it's still that one?"
"Whose is that?"
"The Tang family."
"And who is the Tang family..." Gu Jin was taken aback, then suddenly seemed to remember something, blushing as she argued, "Isn't the Tang family the one that ran away from the marriage? That girl surnamed Tang ran away, which means your son is really trash, please spare me!"
Mother Gu was displeased upon hearing this.
"Who said the Tang family only has one daughter? That little girl ran away from her arranged marriage, and I don't even think much of her anyway."
Furious at her son's lack of ambition, Gu's mother slapped Gu Jin on the back of the head and scolded him in a low voice, "Your background isn't bad. Your father and I have built so much for you. There are plenty of people who want to date you. After that girl ran away from her wedding, your Uncle Tang immediately went to your father and said that he has an older daughter who wants to date you!"
"What 'eldest daughter'? I don't care!"
"No way! You may not care, but I do!" Mrs. Gu said sternly. "I've seen that girl's photo. She's beautiful and sensible, but her background isn't good. Her birth mother was your Uncle Tang's sister, and she died in childbirth. So she was adopted by your Uncle Tang when she was little. But she's incredibly sensible, much more pleasing to the eye than your Uncle Tang's biological daughter. Why don't you come with me to see her?"
"Ugh! Please stop talking!" Gu Jin was annoyed by what she heard, so she simply covered her ears.
He's incredibly frustrated right now.
He originally thought that coming to Qin Zheng's place would be much more peaceful, and that no matter how much his father pressured him, he wouldn't embarrass him in front of Qin Zheng and Ye Yun.
Now look what's happened.
His dad didn't come, but his mom did.
Good heavens, is this some kind of living hell? His mother's fighting power is much stronger than his father's!
Gu Jin slumped dejectedly into the sofa, covered her ears, and stared out the window with a look of utter despair, as if half of her soul had left her body.
Ye Yun couldn't help but laugh when she saw this.
Qin Zheng also had a look of anticipation on his face. When he saw Gu's mother whispering in Gu Jin's ear, he couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
Gu's mother didn't give Gu Jin any peace and quiet. Seeing that Gu Jin was not cooperating, she pulled away his hands that were covering his ears and said with a hint of threat in her tone, "Boy, I've been giving you enough face by not being home all day long. If you don't come with me to see that girl, you'll be fine even if you don't get into our house for the New Year!"
"Fine, I'm not going in. I have somewhere else to go!"
Gu Jin was stubborn, and she spoke without hesitation, her tone full of impatience.
This completely exhausted Gu's mother's patience.
"Where do you have to go? To Qin Zheng's house or one of your cronies' houses? Believe me, I can throw one word at them and none of them will dare to take you in!"
Gu's mother was never a gentle person. She grabbed Gu Jin's ear and threatened through gritted teeth, "So you think you're all grown up now? You're going today whether you like it or not!"
"Ouch...it hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"
Gu Jin let out a scream as his ear was grabbed, wincing in pain but powerless to resist. He reached out to pry his mother's hand off his ear, but she slapped it away with her other hand.
Mother Gu was clearly losing her patience and said sternly, "It's good that you know pain. You have no choice today!"
With a sudden tightening of her grip, Gu Jin was forced to let out a suppressed scream as her mother grabbed her ear and pulled her up from the sofa.
Gu's mother then turned her head and put on a smiling face again.
"Qin Zheng, Ye Yun, you two rest first, I'll take him with me now." Gu's mother smiled gently and waved her free hand at Ye Yun.
Ye Yun's eye twitched.
She glanced at Gu Jin, whose face was contorted in pain from having her ear pulled, and couldn't help but hiss. She turned her head and gave Gu's mother a well-behaved and sensible smile: "Auntie, come visit often when you have time. Goodbye."
"Okay!"
After Gu's mother finished speaking, she grabbed Gu Jin's ear and left the ward.
The moment the door closed, Chen Zhenxing's low laughter echoed in the ward.
Dongdong didn't know what Chen Zhenxing was laughing at, but when he saw Chen Zhenxing's smiling face, he also laughed out loud with a silly look on his face.
This amused Ye Yun.
She gently pinched Dongdong's little face and asked with a smile, "What are you laughing at?"
"I don't know." Dongdong turned to look at Chen Zhenxing, grinning with his teeth showing, and said, "My dad was laughing, and I couldn't help it."
Ye Yun was both amused and exasperated.
Chen Zhenxing was also helpless, and chuckled and scolded, "Silly boy..."
...
On the twelfth of the lunar month, Ye Yun had already stayed at the health center for five days, so Qin Zheng completed the procedures to pick her up from the hospital.
As for where to go after being discharged from the hospital.
Qin Xiang'e and Qin Zheng had some disagreements.
